Hey everyone. I'm from the EVO forums, so please bear with me. My uncle has a charge and wants the tether app free. Can someone point me in the direction of how I would do this? Thanks.

Alright, so apperently you guys don't have root and you flash everything through odin, is that right?

Oh we have Root, we flash CWM through Odin and use CWM itself to flash our kernels/ROMs. There are plenty of wireless and wired tethering methods. For wired you can use EasyTether(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mstream.easytether_polyclef&feature=related_apps) although it's a little pricy. For wireless you can use Open Garden(https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether&feature=search_result) it's pretty much a clone of Wireless Tether for Root Users, but that got removed.
As for rooting your phone, I can guarantee you if you follow this (noob-proofed) guide you will have your phone rooted, overclocked, lagfixed, ROMd, modded and whatever you may want to do very easily! After all it's what helped me get root on the first day of owning my Charge(and I've never owned a smartphone before it)

Thank you so much. Odin threw me off because we don't use it on the EVO. I will thank when I get home.

Lol if you're going to thank anyone be sure to thank chadness for the incredibly easy to follow guide!
Ok, so I got him setup. Now what if he goes to a Verizon store and needs some help. How do I get him back to a stock setup?
You're just going to flash the stock ED2 file(http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?481-LEAK-STOCK-ED2-Droid-Charge-FULL-ODIN!) then boot the phone up. It will say an OTA update is available and that will automatically update you back to stock EE4, that's all there is to it!
edit: Make sure to disable lagfix before doing so.
Barnacle used to work on my Charge but now I get an error message on startup:
NAT:Could not set MTU of pdpbr1:
Invalid argument
I deleted/reinstalled it. I even cleared the data but it won't work anymore. Is Wifi Tether a better app?
Never tried barnacle but I guess for wireless Open Garden works, I'm not too sure because I can't connect to the dam app with my Wii/PSP/NDS. My computer connected to it fine(with pages going quite slow)but it took a while for it to connect, longer then it does to connect to my router. It's weird that it's so slow when we have 4g that is faster then most of our home connections.
Well Barnicle used to work before the free tethering was over July 7. But now it's not working and giving me that message. Maybe it has to do with the free tethering permissions. I have no idea.

I use the wireless tether 3.1 and after a couple minutes i get booted off. My settings are fascinate on first drop down which is what everyone said it should be and the second dropdown i had it set on master and auto but neither seem to help. Any ideas or solutions. I thought about trying opengarden but its a adhoc only, but if you dont get booted on it maybe thats a solution.

No Dice. I tried all suggested solutions. Plus I tried other older versions of it and got the same message. I would think someone has figured this out. If someone has working wifi tether please package and pm me.

Open garden is adhoc only. Certain devices wont run on that. I need to be able to set up an infrastructure. V3.1 offers that but is not reliable. There are other ones too but my phone says that there is not enough space. The wierd part is that i have way plenty of space. Thats where im at now.

I have 3.1 working fine on the ep1f leak. Here are my settings. Profile Fascinate, Method Softap for samsung. changed the channel to 4 or 5 your choice really. If there is a wireless router nearby on channel 1(which most are factory set at) you will get interference. Also try this I had to do it on my wife's phone. Uninstall wt reboot then reintall. Let the phone get completely up(media scanning and everything). Then try and run wt again. I've gotten 3.1 to work on a bunch of phones. Hoope that helps.
Hey man, sorry to hear nothings worked out... Sad to say but why dont you try to mount your SD card, make a new folder on your desktop and back up everything on your SD. Go under my computer, right click the disk and format it. Do an odin restore to ED1, keep it stock. Let it update to EE4, then flash an EE4 Odin rom that gives you root, such as this one. http://www.androphiles.com/files/android/EE4deodx_DXC.tar.rar then your kernel and rom. I mean, I know you probably dont want to hear this kind of answer but if nothing else has worked then this might be your only option. As for getting infastructure working, I saw a thread on it. Ill post it once I find it. PM if it worked.
Edit: I link that I found says to download the newest tether, which obviously you are having problems with... So give it a try again after you do a full wipe.
What's the best non rooted tether app?

The stock one that comes with your phone. Or you can use clock work mod tether but you need a USB cable for that.

PdaNet 3.50, Easy Tether, ClockworkMod Tether, Proxoid, AziLink
As stated above, there's PdaNet 3.50, Easy Tether, and ClockworkMod Tether. You have to pay for the full version of all three, but none of them require rooting.
The two free ones that I know of are Proxoid and AziLink. Proxoid's easier to install, but I think AziLink works better (at least that was the case when I tried it a long time ago). It looks like development for both of them ended a couple years ago. Here's Proxoid's page:
code.google.com/p/proxoid/
As the name says, it works like a proxy, so I'm guessing that some things wouldn't work well on it.
And AziLink's page:
code.google.com/p/azilink/
Windows 7 instructions (probably works for Vista and XP too):
blog.lifebloodnetworks.com/?p=630
Linux (Fedora) instructions:

Linux (Ubuntu) instructions:
pullmonkey.com/2011/11/15/azilink-is-working-again/
blog.lifebloodnetworks.com/?p=238
I'll admit it, installing AziLink is pretty intimidating; it's all through Terminal (or Command Prompt in Windows). But I managed to do it back in my early Linux days (not that long ago, actually ). The worst thing you can do is kill your phone and computer. If that happens, I always like to resort to duct tape.
I tried for a while to stay away from rooting my phone because I was afraid I was going to brick it. But then I finally rooted it, and I've never once regretted it.
what type of phone do you have? It should be already installed on your phone. On the Nexus it is in the more section. Or a custom ROM could give you a toggle. On my Bionic, Epic 4 G Touch, and Rezound they all had built in apps also, no root required.

Use native tethering - all third-party tethering uses adhoc mode which doesn't play nice with a lot of devices.
You may need to freeze/uninstall TetheringManager2.apk - I forget if this was needed on Infuse. It was needed on the I777.
FoxFi is free on Android Market. I was using it for wifi tethering, until I realized it is just using the native tether feature in settings. It's a good app, though, and not just adhoc like the others.
For native tethering in uclb3, I now just go to settings / wireless and network / tethering and portable hotspot / mobile AP settings.
Delete the tethering manager apk in /system/app, or freeze it using Titanium Backup. I don't think native tethering works without doing that, and that apk is the quickest, and easiest way for at&t to pick up on tether usage (in case you aren't paying for a tethering plan).

If there was no tethering manager then it was probably already deleted in whatever rom you are running.
Do this..
Settings>Wireless> Tethering and Portable Hot Spot (or something like that... on ICS... can't remember exactly for gb. Then you pretty much just start tethering. And remember, if you are not on a plan then you risk getting caught.. so don't do it too much or it will be taking away.
Good luck.

Hello All. I've searched the forum and have seen many threads about tethering, but I can't find the answer to my specific question...or maybe I'm blind and am just missing it, in which case, I apologize for posting something that has already been answered.
Anyway, I want to tether with my verizon S3 but of course I don't want to pay extra for data I pay for already, nor do I want to root my device, at least not yet. I've heard many things that verizon can't charge for tethering if you have a tiered plan, but when I try to use the built in mobile hotspot it says I am not subscribed and to call verizon. Am I missing something? Didn't there used to be a built in wifi tethering functionality into android?
More specifically, I want to tether my Nexus 10.
Have you tried clockworkmod tether? Never used it but he does great work and it doesn't require root.
Foxfi from the market.

I have not. Does that need root? I assume it is a paid app. As long as the price is reasonable I don't mind. I'd prefer a free app though.

I'd prefer to not root my phone right now. Also, I used to use FoxFi on my Bionic, yes I owned one of those, and it worked great. So I tried it on the S3 (no root) and I couldn't get the Nexus 10 to find the tethered wifi network I set up.
neither require root. clockwork does require to install a program on your comp, might not work for you. check out foxfi.

Yeah problem with CWM tether is that I don't want it for the computer...want it for the Nexus 10 tablet. And FoxFi's network it creates can't be found by the Nexus 10 for some reason.
Yea Foxfi is no root need bro. Just keep playing with it I have had to mess around a few times with settings but always got it. I my first recommendation is keep security off for your first connection then after you connect try it with security.
I use it on my phone and my wife uses it on here locked down tiger than the Whitehouse razor.

I have this on my Photon Q, and for some reason, some days it works fine, and stays connected, and other days my computer will connect to the wifi tethering of my phone, then after about 1 min it will disconnect. Its not my computer, it is the phone, the phone stops broadcasting with the tethering app.
Does anyonw know a fix for this? Yesterday i stayed connected without issue, but the day before, I fought with it all day long trying to keep it connected. I either have to restart wifi tether, or sometimes I actually have to restart the phone.
I know this i an issue with the phone, but I wonder if some setting in my computer is making the phone disconnect?
Also, if anyone has any better tethering apps, please let me know.
Have you tried an app like "KeepConnOn"?
No I will check into that thank you
